■ The Nigerian economy, with a GDP of over $400 billion is Africa's largest.
Nigeria is also Africa's most populous nation - about 200 million.
These factors mean that Nigeria offers a sizable consumer market, with
significant opportunities in various sectors.
However, the requisite infrastructure necessary to translate these opportunities
to economic value is in deficit, largely because, over the years, infrastructure

available to government. Hence, it has become imperative to look beyond
government finances for the country to have any hope of achieving its full
development potential.View entire presentation
